>>Just for the hell of it, I wandered over to Gateway (Dell isn't selling 15" Duo yet) and decked out a laptop to entry-level McBook standard. Impossible to account adequately for iLife, so I tossed a copy of Adobe Elements in there and called it a wash. Bottom line: as predicted, the McBook prices out to within $100 of the equivalent Gateway hardware.<< WLD - OK, the price is about the same. But how big is the Gateway and how much does it weigh? And when you configure it, be sure to add that &79 dollar "Intellimover" software package that's supposed to help you transfer your stuff from your old PC. Of course it won't be as quick or seamless as the Mac's built-in Migration Assistant, but you'll definitely want to have it. OK, just checked. The smaller of the two Duo notebooks is 1.3" and 6.3 pounds. Not terrible. Not like the MacBook, but not terrible. - Allen
